Furniture reincarnated Upholstered Console Table

Lately, I have been wandering around my house with my trusty staple gun upholstering anything and everything I can get my hands on. Although I have done my fair share of DIY upholstery projects in the past, I am finally taking a real class and LOVING it! A natural problem solver, I feel like each upholstery assignment is one big 3-D puzzle --- and I cant get enough!

So, remember the post I did about the upholstered mirror? I know the style wasnt for everyone but the concept of fabric-wrapping items that are not typically soft intrigued me. I took that inspiration and used it for my latest project.

I had a dream client. The kind that comes in and says "HELP! I have this old thing that I dont know what to do with and you can do anything you want with it"..... me: "Really???..... anything????" (my voice getting higher and higher with each inquiry).

I knew immediately that with its simple lines, this table was the perfect guinea pig --- I was going to upholster a console table. I wanted a clean simple fabric with a youthful yet stylish look (and NO stripes to keep straight!). I liked the idea of a textured fabric and while I think this would look absolutely fab-u-lous in a crisp linen or a hot bold print, I went with a fabric that had a neutral background and white flower pattern applied. Not too funky, but enough to fit the unique technique. Check out the transformation.
